It is so time consuming to grow (covering those little shoots each day), expensive, and GOOD to EAT!! :)) <br /><br />We just LOVE Villefrahche Sur Mer. That is our favorite port of call in the Med. We have been there many times and have taken the train and bus to Nice and to Monaco on numerous occasions. Villefranche is a photographer's paradise.<br /><br />Wonderful post.Lois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.com
